Los Corruptitos de Cudahy Suppress Public Comment

From January 11, 2016, the Cudahy City Council, particularly Los Cuatro Corruptitos, have been on notice.

Aside from Jack Guerrero, the only honest member of the city council, the city council continues to fight and limit public comment at the city council meetings.

In January, members of the audience were permitted to address the city council at three periods.

1. Agenda items

2. Closed Session items.

3. Non-agenda items.

After three months of having to endure severe criticism from an enraged electorate, fed up with the corruption, waste, and malfeasance, the city councilmembers have opted to severely limit public comment outright.

At the March 14th, 2016 city council meeting, Guerrero reminded the audience that members of the previous city council routinely resorted to suppressing public comment from the community.

The corruption eating up the city from the inside out was later found out, and two members of a previous city council went to federal prison for corruption charges.

Yet here we are again, with the Cudahy City Council limiting public comment even further.

Los Corruptitos, including Baru Sanchez, admitted their perverse intent as soon as they informed the public that public comment used to permit each person to speak for five minutes.

I respect that city councils want to make sure that every person can address their elected leaders about their poor or good decisions.

But in Cudahy, a grand total of eighteen people wanting to speak out against the city's actions should not be curbed from their comments.

Instead, the elected leaders not to start engaging in good government, and respecting the will of the voters. More importantly, they need to honor their oaths and uphold the rule of law.

In response to this repeated suppression of public comment, I released the following complaint to the Los Angeles County Public Integrity office:
